it's fema and obama and the president seems to be from all indications -- he is on it. right? and in fact, dan, this was very interesting yesterday -- yesterday morning chris christie did all of the morning shows. and so he went on fox and friends. and fox and friends wanted to get mitt romney in new jersey. i was watching right here on the monitor, and while christtive was on, they had the headline on that said romney to visit new jersey shorelines. >> with a question mark? >> bill: no, a fact. here is the exchange. >> is there any possible they governor romney may go to jersey to tour some of the damage with you. >> i have no idea nor aim concerned or interested. i have a job to do in new jersey that is much more important than presidential politics. i have a job to do. i have got 2.4 million people out of power, floods in the northern part of my state, if you think right now, i give a damn about presidential politics, then you don't know me. >> bill: bingo. >> yeah. this just sucked the oxygen in a big way out of the campaign and a key moment for mitt romney. this is a time

>> even brownie, right? default to benghazi. >> that's desperate. when we're in the middle of a crisis, you know you're losing. the other thing for president obama, what i would love to see coming out of this for democrats, let's reframe the conversation and instead of big government versus small government, what is efficient versus inefficient? this is efficient government ready to go when you need it. not the size -- the size isn't the issue. is it ready to go? that's what he's talked about when he talks about cutting inefficiencies, talked about that in a number of state of the union addresses, cutting through the red tape. that's a good mantra going into a second term. >> on benghazi, it amazes me the rest of the republican party didn't take a leap from romney who gave it up in the third debate. it's clear that benghazi is not a fireable offense for president obama. there was a lot of bureaucratic confusion, the cia has said their initial reports were contradictory, mixed messages. nobody did anything that was wrong that we've identified so far.

>> well, for one thing you know it's your last campaign, right? and you hear president obama talk about that in the campaign trail. these are the final days, of my final campaign. you begin to look ahead not to, every first term president wants the same thing, a second term. every second term president is thinking about one thing, and that's their legacy. what are they going to leave behind when they are done, what will history say about them? so the minute you've won that second term, instead of relief, i think you begin to start thinking about the judge that will be even harsher than the voters, come four years hence. and you realize that the clock is ticking so fast. somebody told me yesterday that a second term president has fourteen good months at the beginning of his term. and fourteen good months at the end, and the middle is a mush. and i have to figure out how to use that to achieve something that's meaningful. >> i've been struck recently, in the last four or five presidential campaigns, how it's become kind of de rigueur standard to pro

president obama probably made the right call to come back. it wouldn't look good if he continued with that event down in florida if people are pounded by rain. all attention will be on this storm for a while, especially on the east coast, so he has a chance to get out there and be in front of the cam ras. we don't want to talk aboutfall politics in a natural disaster, but it will give him a chance to respond and look presidential. >> mitt romney had to cancel three events in virginia. the latest poll out of the state. he's closing the gap, although the president still has a four-point lead. how do you proceed if you're mitt romney? he doesn't have an official role, so is whatever he does open to criticism, or is it -- do you even morph through a political lens? where does mitt romney play through all of this. >> he can campaign in states not adversely affected by the storm. he can stay in ohio. i don't think there was any downside to spend more time in ohio and put in homilies in the speech how he was thinking of others in swing states. the d
